What makes the REALTOR® L.E.A.D. courses different?

The courses are a leadership experience for the many stages of a volunteer leader’s journey. The courses use a series of story arcs to convey real life examples of leadership in the REALTOR® organization, as well as practical application and knowledge transfer. This course and program targets multiple volunteer leaders:

  • Emerging Leaders – Leaders at the start of their journey that want to flesh out their skills to lead with intention and vision.
  • Seasoned Leaders – Leaders with experience who want to explore and refine areas of growth as an elevation of skill.
  • Volunteer Leaders – REALTOR® leaders who are interested in exploring leadership skills applicable at all levels.

The L.E.A.D. courses focus on developing and elevating essential leadership skills, and will also specifically address leadership needs for the REALTOR® association. The Building Blocks and Road Maps courses address foundational leadership skills and leadership strategies. The DEI course provides a foundational understanding of the social psychology that underpins DEI concepts, and then applies those concepts to REALTOR® leadership. The Vision Course is a live or live-virtual experience. It is offered by NAR a few times per year, or it can be licensed to a state or local association to offer for their own members. If you are interested in bringing this course to your association, please contact us at REALTORLead@nar.realtor for more information.

The L.E.A.D. courses were created by NAR thought leaders to inspire, motivate, train, and educate aspiring leaders at every level of the association. An invaluable educational opportunity, L.E.A.D. leverages the collective knowledge and experience of REALTOR® luminaries to equip you with the tools, techniques, and practices to become an impactful REALTOR® or association leader.

Subject matter experts for the development of these new leadership courses include Elizabeth Mendenhall, Ron Phipps, John Sebree, Christine Todd, Steve Francks, Ginger Downs, Tommy Choi, Krista Clark, Robert Morris, Bikel Frenelle, and Tessa Hultz.
